Jamie Pugh – Youtube

When Jamie Pugh was intervieed by Britain’s Got Talent Hosts Ant & Dec, he said that he sufferend from serious stage fright and that it was very crippling for him and it had prevented him from trying to go professional before. Afterwards he was questioned by the judges about whether he had been on front of an audience like the one in the theater at the moment and he said no.

But soon came out that he had actually been in front of a large audience at Her Majesty’s Theater in 2006 for Star EFX Sunday Night Live, a showcase for new talent.

It is true that he was part of a group and that the performance was less than memorable, but to many he should have mentioned that during his audition in Britain’s Got Talent, and that could cost Jamie any possibilities of winning the contest or even going to the finals after his performance in the semi finals.

Bookies are offering odds 7/1 on Jamie getting the Boot, a representative from William Hill’s said:

“A large part of Jamie’s charm was based on his `chronic’ stage fright.

“Once you take that away he is fairly ordinary and you can see Simon Cowell taking a dim view.”

And though I don’t believe Jamie lied when he was interviewed his carelessness of failing to mention that particular previous experience could cost him a great deal. He needs to surprise both judges and audience with his second performance ion order to regain the credibility that he is loosing by this news.
